I've had ebnough of this off road milarky. I initially bought a series 3 just to get my boat in and out of the water. My two kids kept argueing about who would go with daddy (it only had 2 seats) so I bought a Disco instead. In order that it didn't sink in the sand (steep beach) I wanted wider tyres which lead to wider rims which lead to wheelspacers which lead to cut arches which lead to ..... you get the idea. Before I knew it I had a very capable off-roader and so I went off roading. That lead to ...... I'm not starting that again.
I joined a local club that has its own site and even entered a novice challenge event. Trouble is, now I'm bored with all th eoff-road milarky and the Disco just isn't getting used. The beach where I launch from now has a concrete slipway so I don't need an equipped vehicle there either.
The disco is a 1991 V8 which cost me £1200 a year or so ago. The modifications cost around another £5000 (if not more) The Disco has a fair bit of body damage now, dents and scratches abound but mechanically it is absolutly fine.
So what do I do? I know I'll never get back what I have paid out, I'm not that niave, but do I break it down to its parts and then e-bay them or sell it off in one go? I would probably get more for it in parts but I don't want the hassle.

Hi.
Try selling it first at a sensible price (reserve).
I was offered £2700 for my heavily modded 89 V8 LPG RRC. I broke it and got £3500 for the bits I sold and kepts back bits I had paid £3800 for. I kept BFG Muds, loads of Scorpion stuff, etc.
Took six weekends to break/photo/advertise/dispatch.

Doesn't that answer it for you?
